"A heart at peace gives life to the body..." - Proverbs 14:30
Once I decided to allow my life journey to be on a path that God controlled rather than one I dictated, controlled and manipulated the journey has become very clear, peaceful and blessed. There is still chaos and uncertainty many days but I feel a sense of calm even in the midst of storms all around me.
I received another phone call the other day. One of my doctors called to see if everything was okay because I have not had an appointment or called him for over four months. I have not been to the emergency room for over six months. I used to look at my calendar each week and be overwhelmed by the number of medical appointments I had. My life was going from one clinic, hospital or testing facility to the next. My Sunday evenings were spent preparing for the medical onslaught that waited each week; filling pill boxes, refilling prescriptions, finding drivers to take me to appointments, completing paperwork, battling insurance companies, then the hours of actual time at each appointment. Not anymore. God has been gracious and removed some of that from me. I have been able to stop some of my medications; filling the medication boxes is quick & easy. I feel well enough to drive most days or even walk or bike.
The last piece seems to be the digestive issues. They have gotten better but I am experiencing some detoxification that is taking time. Healing has been a process; it has been a journey of faith, trust and obedience. I believe more will continue to take place. I will be patient and remain faithful.
Occasionally I have a day I still need to rest; I know the signs. Even those days I feel the healing hand of God upon me. He always has a plan...
